Shailesh needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Nagpur
Shailesh's my taxi is Shailesh's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $200.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,236 views
I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $200 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $140
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $10
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Shailesh
Quick update: $138 raised so far (69%). I made the first payment toward gearbox replacement. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Nagpur: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 32% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
